After browsing these forums for a little while, I realized I don't actually need lolking to see rank

I don't need to look it up in any way. I can just ask them what they think of Zed/Lee or Sej/Viktor and based on their response, I can make an educated guess since the gold and lower hivemind swear by their mothers that Zed/Lee are game-breaking and that Sej/Viktor are only hated by LCS sheep.

I dunno, I tune into one random LCS game and it has Lee Sin and Zed. Not sure pros necessarily pick champions into LCS based on how fun they are.

Tho that's ad hominem, man. People can hate Lee/Zed and like Sej/Viktor regardless of what rank they are. The only entity your post reflects on is yourself, and it's not a pretty image.

If they're a hivemind, what does that make you? You look kind of like a jerk right now.

I've tested my theory probably 30 times over and it's only failed once or twice at most.

Lee/Zed are still garbage solo queue picks though. Sej is a god of solo queue and while Viktor's solo queue strength is comparable to Zed since nobody can seem to play him, he's more annoying than Zed right now.

But they're strong team picks then?

They probably are, due to LCS. Maybe just not for solo queue?

Lee wasn't dominating the LCS last I checked but I don't really watch it anymore.

I looked up some data on Zed for the LCS and it looks like he's one of those champs that doesn't win but everybody bans.

Huh.

Personally, I don't find Lee or Zed OP. They're relatively balanced, if a bit annoying (sorry), but have plenty of counterplay. But I can see your point. In solo queue, some players think that hitting the keyboard with their face is how you win, while pros actually can reach their full potential hence you see them more in LCS.

I find Lee's pick rate in solo queue annoying, but that's it. As for Zed, it's people who complain about him that get on my nerves. He's annoying as hell, yes, but when someone complains about building against him is when I feel no pity. That's part of the game, and everyone has to do it (like picking Botrk over BT if you're against champions who benefit from building health).

Bit long, but that's my opinion. Sej needs a love tap, though, but I don't quite get the nerfs to her ult over her W.

Lee is still one of the best junglers out there, but there is a bit more diversity so je is.not picked as often.

I still believe he requires a rework since his kit stems.froma.different point in leagues history and as such, is extremely problematic to.balance.

Zed i do not have as much.of an issue with because mid.champs can deal.with him.accordomgly, particularly ap mids who have access to zhonya.

Viktor and sejuani are not issues
